Where Vintage Films
Find New Life

My name is Antal Agatics, I work as a casting director. When I was 12 years old, I came across our family's 8mm AGFA film collection, the magical world of which immediately impressed me. I think it was love at first sight. This started me to obsessively collect all kinds of copies on various media. I will organize these, then digitize them in a professional laboratory using a special process, and then catalog them in order to pass on the heritage of cellulose and magnetic tapes to posterity.

Process:

  • Rewinding and scanning the films
  • Inspection and repair of gluing points, replacement of missing runways and runways
  • Cleaning and dedusting the film
  • Film swelling (very important for old, dry films, as this prevents breakage or other damage resulting from the stiffness of the film)
  • Preservation (protects the films from film mold and significantly slows down the degradation of the carrier)
  • Frame-by-frame scanning of movies with active correction
  • Digital restoration (removal of contamination, reduction of granularity) - optional
  • Digital stabilization - optional
  • Post-correction of the digital video
  • Editing of films · 16fps-25 fps conversion is made with the most modern solution, i.e. the completed digital material is completely original when played at natural speed. Image duplication or interpolation is also possible.
  • Conversion and recording to the desired media
  • 8mm (N8, S8) 9.5mm and 16mm film gate
  • Frame by frame scanning (each frame separately)
  • 2K+ resolution, i.e. higher than FullHD resolution (1920X1200)
  • Film transmission without gears and grippers, so the film cannot be damaged
  • Parameterizable film tension
  • Dirt removal PTRs liquid gate for scratch films (8, 9.5 and 16 mm)
